Very pleased to add this link to a heart-warming story from BOT which Sandra has posted in main thread but will, of course, disappear very quickly ...

7:36 Flew to the front, with the remainder of prey. Struggling to 'down' whatever it was
7:41
7:44 BO had gone (to the back of the barn, as per Kate's scaps above)
Ha! and still struggling but now flown to back again with it.
Thanks Kate
Prey was very tough to shred for the BO, looked like frog's legs(?) when it was at the front
CHOL:):)

Glad to see exciting development but first here's the overnight that I forgot to post - from when the owl left the tray to when it flew out many hours later - not much to see! But 2 poops included, not as graphic as Sandra's yesterday ;)
I don't know if this will work, but I've got no Image Upload in the Media box:
I wanted to post the "to back" and "to front" snaps:
Well !!! Those are posted via their direct link from Imgur.com - no need to use [img] cases.
IMAGICAT
There was another fairly short visit to the back beam after the last one I recorded, so it's on the front of the "tough prey" video - which was hard to edit, decision-wise, it being so long and repetitive, and so faint on the back beam.

Yay!!! you did well bless you.
Thanks for the vids Scylla
